Image description

Here, softly painted rectangles of colour float against a smoky background. Their blurred edges make the colour masses appear to vibrate with a misty, magical quality. Restrained, yet deeply evocative, Rothko's painting seems to represent the results of lengthy meditation. Largely a self-taught painter, Mark Rothko stopped painting recognizable objects in 1940 because he wanted to "create a new language of painting" that made no reference to the kinds of things people were used to seeing in pictures. A leading figure in abstract expressionism, Rothko was convinced that colour could express the full range of human emotions. Though large, his pictures are intended not to overpower, but to envelop and immerse the viewer in a total colour experience.
